A Comparative Grammar of the Modern Aryan Languages of India v3.c18.66

v3.c18.66

This noun, used, as above explained, participially, is employed to form compound tenses, § 62. In H. and P. the noun in *wâlâ* (not *vâlâ*) is used in a future sense, as वह जानेवाला था “he was just about to go.” This is not perhaps a classical phrase, but it is one which one hears a dozen times a day from the mouths of people of all classes.
